840.25 is what percent of 1908 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1908 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1908, so we can write it down as 100%=1908.
4. We know, that x% equals 840.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=840.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1908
2) x%=840.25
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1908/840.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 840.25 is what percent of 1908

100%/x%=1908/840.25
(100/x)*x=(1908/840.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2707527521571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2707527521571) to get x
100/2.2707527521571=x
44.038259958071=x
x=44.038259958071

now we have:
840.25 is 44.038259958071% of 1908
